The allegations in this superseding indictment of grave human rights abuses are chilling. Our country will not be a safe harbor for those accused of committing atrocities abroad.
In filing these false charges, this Justice Department has chosen to allocate precious government resources towards the prosecution of a foreign national for alleged crimes that occurred in a foreign country against non-American citizens.
Sheikh personally carried out some of the violence, which allegedly involved beatings and subjecting prisoners to a wooden device known as the 'flying carpet,' which forcibly folded them in half.
Nina Marino, representing Sheikh, stated they intend to vigorously defend against these false charges and achieve the full vindication of our client.
